I've always been open with my team and allowed them the space to feel safe as well. However, I've been feeling like the work culture has gotten a little too casual and I don't know how to strike a balance. What are some things you all practice to ensure the line is never crossed??

That’s the first problem you cannot take accountability for their safety. It’s your job to oversee and manage the employees and make sure the job gets done. I was a manager for 5 years and I quickly realized that when you start to show that you care or become too personal things go south. Balance is being kind, professional and holding accountability not making them feel safe. Managing is a tough job, go back to how u were when u first started as soon as u can.

Hi!
How (if at all) is “too casual" affecting their performance, you, business? What’s the actual problem?
Based on those answers and generally speaking as I dont have all the details, I would either set a Team meeting or 1:1s to go through goals, expectations, culture - to remind them of what is/isn´t appropriate.
You also want to make sure to give them positive feedback on their performance and efforts but at the same time put the message across that this is a professional environment and it’s necessary to behave in that way too.

If you want to share more details - feel free to message me.

All the best!

I’m a third year litigator. The partner of my firm just started letting me go do trials, hearings, and depos by myself about 7 months ago. A judge I’ve only briefly appeared in front of 4 times has called my boss to compliment my work (they’ve known each other for years and go to the same gym, but my boss never appears in his court). Judge has asked me to go to lunch to “discuss” something, but what could it be? It’s making me nervous. What could it be about?

How do you deal with your “mentor” being threatened by your performance and gatekeeping information from you? Then turning around and giving you shit for not knowing things… but they don’t tell you anything and there is no way for you to know. My learning and development is being hindered and I’ve felt this for a long time, but coworker just confirmed this is the case. Now that I know I’m not “crazy” for thinking this, how should I approach this?

I know getting credit for your work is important, how do you protect it from more senior teams? Do I just ask them why they’re doing it?

I’m new to the firm. My third project my manager was very hands off. He’s wants to have a discussion with me about my performance. He did not give me any support to work with; even when I asked! And my direct manager agrees with him, but it was my third week. What to do? I feel like I’m going to say something crazy. Any advice?

Started a casual relationship with manager now we both ended it. how can I get over the fact that i will keep seeing him at work (different team) and not to think about him sleeping with others?

I found out last night that a senior copywriter at my agency who does little follow-up and passes off work to others (read: me) to handle when there are questions from team members…was recently promoted to copy supervisor.

Trust me when I say that this person can’t supervise putting toothpaste on a toothbrush. Must be nice to be liked by the right people.
